Javier, 67, a former truck driver, retired after a stroke with a pension of just over €500 per month. Unable to afford rent, he has lived for four years in a 5-square-meter caravan in Mallorca. He must follow strict regulations: no chairs outside, no windows opened in a way considered camping, and moving the vehicle every 10 days. He states the housing crisis is worsening, with more people facing similar conditions.
